Global Brigades (GB) is the world’s largest student-led international development organization. As a secular, California-based 501c3 nonprofit organization, we empower university students and young professionals nation-wide to provide communities in developing countries with sustainable solutions that improve quality of life while respecting local culture and improving the environment. At UCSC, we plan to build a foundation of volunteers and leaders, each motivated to make a profound impact on our world.

Global Medical Brigades is an international network of university clubs and volunteer organizations that travel to developing countries to perform health care in communities without access to medicine otherwise. Global Dental Brigades will be working in conjunction with the Medical brigade to help ensure the communities we serve are provided with the services they need to further ensure their health treatment. Our current emphasis is in the country of Honduras, where we provide sustainable health care to over 57 villages and have provided aid to more than 40,000 patients in 2008.

It is our goal, by 2012, to install in each of our villages a permanent clinic for primary care. In addition, our organization is working to improve the water/sanitation, and economic infrastructures in the villages. 

“In working together through our unique gifts, we have moved a step closer in bringing the Americas together through spiritual and physical healing.  Your involvement is what is important. The greatest gift is your presence with us, giving and sharing community.”
